Hi,

Is there a way (config, parameter) to setup kibana3 to use nevertheless an  
older version of ES (0.20) ?

Alert appearing in the browser --\> Upgrade Required Your version of  
Elasticsearch is too old. Kibana requires Elasticsearch 0.90.9 or above.

Regards,

Charles

Unfortunately the Kibana source code uses an elasticsearch Javascript  
library that is continually updated to newer versions of ES APIs. So your  
best bet is probably to upgrade ES or go back to and older Kibana.
